Canada Removes Passport Visa Requirement for Croations

The Canadian Minister of Citizenship, Immigration, and Multiculturalism has announced that the requirement of a passport visa has been removed for citizens of Croatia. This means that Croatians may now seek temporary resident status as a visitor to Canada for a period of up to six months by applying at a Canadian port of entry. A port of entry includes international airports and the majority of land based border crossings.

In making this decision, the Canadian government first conducted a review of Croatia's profile, including socio-economic factors, immigration issues, travel documents, safety and security issues, border management, human rights, and bilateral relations.
